post 4 — Skateboard Typography

Photographs from La Raza Park, San Francisco

The skateboarders and graffiti in La Raza Park are amazing. In November, 2011, I went there to take pictures for fun, but at the time I was also working on a magazine design project—PICA Magazine, and was researching hand-drawn, hand-made concepts for design and typography. The taggers’ graffiti was certainly a kind of “skateboard typography”.
